The Book Of Forbidden Knowledge

When Elara Hayes stepped into the Valcourt Foundation gala in a borrowed red gown, she expected to serve drinks and disappear into the background. She did not expect Adrian Valcourt, the cold and untouchable billionaire heir, to cross the room and ask her to waltz. One dance. One moment. One mistake she can’t take back. Because Adrian didn’t choose her by chance. After the gala, he pulls her into his world with an offer she can’t afford to refuse. But the closer Elara gets to him, the more she feels it the tension he’s trying to ignore, the secrets he refuses to speak, and the danger circling them both. Someone wants her gone. Someone knows what Adrian is hiding. And someone is willing to hurt her to keep the past buried. He should stay away from her. She should fear him. But betrayal hides behind the walls he commands, and the closer she gets to the truth, the deeper she falls into a forbidden love that could destroy them both. When the real enemy steps out of the shadows… Will he protect her, or sacrifice her to save the Valcourt legacy?

Until the next morning, when Elara returns home…and discovers the man she slept with is Prince Damon Valen, the man her sister is destined to marry and the future king of two kingdoms. Worse: Elara is carrying his child. Bound by law, trapped by bloodlines, and hunted by those who would kill the unborn heir, Elara is forced into a deadly game of power, lies, and forbidden longing. In a palace fueled by betrayal, where her sister becomes queen and her lover becomes her enemy, Elara must choose: Expose the truth and destroy a kingdom… or protect the man she can never have.

***WARNING THIS BOOK CONTAINS LOTS OF EXPLICIT SCENES, VIOLENCE, AND VULGAR LANGUAGE*** I was a fool to think that I could play with fire and not be burned. To think that once I had a taste of her, I would have been able to let go. To think that once I was all in, we wouldn’t be caught. The problem was that. That we were so focused on my best friend and her father finding out about us, and didn’t see what was brewing against us. Not until it was too late, and she had been taken right from under my nose. Now. Now, I’m out for blood. Because no one touches what belongs to Alberto Morello and lives to tell it. The problem is that there are more traitors than we thought, but I don’t mind bringing hell on earth to find my goddaughter. Because I. Will. Find. Her.

Selina loved Alpha Alaric with everything she had. She even agreed to marry him, knowing full well that his heart still belonged to Lyra, the woman lying unconscious in a coma. All she wanted was to be acknowledged as his Luna, so she accepted the one condition he set: to wake Lyra using the power that flowed within her. And she did. But what waited for her wasn’t love. It was betrayal in its cruelest form. The child she carried was murdered, and her world shattered into pieces. Out of the wreckage came Raven. Alpha of the Bloodhowl Pack and Alaric’s cousin. He knew Selina was destined for someone else. He knew that loving her was forbidden. Yet the more he fought it, the stronger his need grew to protect her... and make her his. Now Selina is trapped between two Alphas: one who destroyed her life, and one she was never meant to love. The Alpha’s Forbidden Love is a story of betrayal, desire, and a forbidden bond that dares to defy fate itself.
